Hingol River or Hungol River (Urdu: دریائے ہنگول) is located in the Makran region, in the Gwadar District of southeastern Balochistan Province, in southwestern Pakistan. The river and valley are protected within Hingol National Park.[2]


Geography

[edit]

At 560 km (350 mi) long, the Hingol is the longest river in Balochistan.[2] It winds through the Makran Coastal Range and Hungol Valley between high cliffs.[2]

The river flows all year long, unlike most other streams in Balochistan which are intermittent and only flow during rare rains.[2]

Fauna

[edit]

According to WWF-Pakistan, the Hingol is one of Balochistan’s four coastal rivers, including the Kech, Hub and Basol rivers, that hosts a healthy crocodile population.[3]
